Sydney siege: Hostages held at Martin Place cafe

[MrEL]

Its insane.
As bad as it sounds I feel relieved that today is my day off and I didn't have to head into the city for work this morning.

The latest NSW Police Chaplin is now a Muslim with the Islamic logo shown on the NSW Police badge, I guess it's the new Chaplin's time to step up...

I do hope all those innocent people walk away from this safely.

This will result in community backlash about how the government is treating religious fanatics in Australia, especially Islamic State sympathisers.

Regarding the fraud of Halal Certification, that's another topic but something that needs to resolved.

Because you live in country Vic. Go check out parts of Europe and see how the hordes of third worlders is turning out for them, because it is only a sign of things to come at the current rate and it ISN'T going to turn out pretty.

And you cannot compare the integration of post WW2 Greeks/Slavs/Italians to who is coming thru the door these days.

I think some need to calm down a bit about Muslim leaders having to speak out.

I was actually quite happy with their response with the last flare up..I do believe that the vast majority are appalled by stuff like this.

Its us as a community that need to finish this....know your neighbor, as a society we need to not accept it. There is nothing actually wrong with multiculturalism.

Cool heads gents.

[aussiblue]

white do gooder idealists, how's that multiculturalism working for ya!?

Just confirms that religious zealots of any religion, sex or race are dangerous nutters

This was only a matter of time. These bastards have hate entrenched in them from the day they're born, hate the west and everything they believe in. Hate everyone who is not the same as us, if they are the same and don't do exactly everything we do, then hate them too. I'm sick of all these do gooders telling us it's minority's, well where are all these people of their "peaceful" faith condemning them, all the leaders asking for peace and tolerance. What a F'in joke, these bastards wouldn't know what peace meant or what it is, have a look at their history they have been fight against each other for centuries. But what really sickens me is that our forefathers fought and died for our freedom and peace in our country, only to have a bunch of do gooder morons let this $h!t in this great country, whose only prerogative is to hate and try to destroy us.

And see they shouldn't be doing this, or at the very least, watering down what they're reporting. For example another news outlet has stated there are a gaggle of Blackhawks en route to Sydney with troops on board. Could be true or could be BS, but this is intel that the bad guys can access if they have a smartphone

I mentioned some Indian food in there and the Middle East got a rep (Kebab is a Lebanese/Turkish thing and both types are different to each other)

I haven't sampled any African cusine yet if thats who you are mentioning

Everyone hates the new guy until they become part of your group, everyone has had issues integrating its not like this is a new thing, my grandparents isolated themselves and formed their own community when they came here after WWII and there was a lot of Italian - Australian violence and hatred in the 1950s towards each other according to them.

These days, virtually non existent between Europeans-Australians.

Go to a restaurant in Lygon Street in Melbourne, and you'll find majority of the people serving you are European foreigners working here.

More education is required I think and on both sides, for the people who are coming here and us.

Attention Sarah Hanson-Young: you and your ilk want Australia to accept more of these people. Wake up.

I don't understand terrorism, if you want to make a change you can usually do it via non violent methods and people power with political disobedience, if you take up arms you're fighting on the Government's terms.

The Government will out man and out gun you every single time, you don't take up arms against them to make a point otherwise you're the one who ends up 6 feet under.

Of course you don't understand terrorism, you're a normal rational thinking adult who isn't blinded by fanatical devotion to a warped interpretation of a religion.

Ok you're also an ALP fanboi but I can overlook that
